It's important that the actor be inventive and imaginative in performing a monolog. This book shows students how to investigate dramatic and theatrical elements. The first two chapters provide a blueprint for preparing auditions and selecting audition materials. Each monolog also includes a character analysis. The monologs selected for audition performance are conveniently grouped in historical period from classical to contemporary. All are representative of competitive material found at auditions. With 127 audition pieces, this handbook has a monolog for almost any audition situation. A valuable resource.
